Sometimes the most significant threats call for an unexpected partnership.
At Aurora InfoTech, we believe Cybersecurity isn’t just a service; it’s a responsibility. That’s why we were honored to speak alongside Affinity Tech Solutions, Inc. during the Cybersecurity Essentials for Business Leaders workshop—an exclusive event for Lake County business owners.
The focus? A shared mission: to protect our local businesses from the growing wave of cyber threats.
While many view competitors as rivals, we see something more—allies protecting the fabric of our local economy. Aurora InfoTech and Affinity Tech are not only Cybersecurity providers but also business owners who understand the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to build a dream.
The Hard Truth No One Talks About
Unfortunately, most small businesses don’t make the news when a cyber incident occurs; worse, many never recover.
As our very own VP & CSO, Roy Richardson, said during the session:
“Hackers are the new mafia. They come silently, and they take everything. And no insurance policy can cover the emotional burden or lost legacy that follows”
This isn’t just about stolen data. It’s about the years of sacrifice behind each business, the late nights, the personal investments, the dreams that can be undone in a single breach.
Why Local Businesses Are Now Prime Targets
Cybercrime is no longer a distant threat. With AI tools and automation on the rise, small and mid-sized businesses have become prime targets—and are often the least prepared.
But protecting what you’ve built isn’t just about installing antivirus software or upgrading firewalls. During the Cybersecurity Essentials for Business Leaders workshop, we explored how Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue—it’s a business risk that deserves boardroom attention.
Cybersecurity expert presenters helped walk attendees through what’s truly at stake, what a Cybersecurity-first culture looks like in practice, and how executive-level decisions can make or break a response during a breach. A live simulation exercise challenged business leaders to step into a real-time cyber incident scenario, helping them uncover hidden gaps and sharpen their ability to respond under pressure.
Most importantly, we didn’t just highlight the problems; we helped uncover the next practical steps leaders can take to build real resilience.
Cybersecurity isn’t a one-time fix; it’s an ongoing commitment that starts with leadership and planning.
